Are there any prayers that you can say for a friend or loved one that you hope will convert? Or saints you can pray to?

The best prayer is the Divine Liturgy as our prayers join those of the Saints in Heaven. Pray the petitions (litanies) of the Divine Liturgy that all may come to know Christ.

The memory of God should be treasured in our hearts like the precious pearl mentioned in the Holy Gospel. Our life's goal should be to nurture and contemplate God always within, and never let it depart, for this steadfastness will drive demons away from us. - Paraphrased from St. Philotheus of Sinai Writings from the Philokalia: On Prayer of the Heart,Translated from the Russian by E. Kadloubovksy and G.E.H. Palmer, Faber and Faber, London, Boston, 1992 printing.

The highest prayer is that all will eventually come to know Christ! We already know this, but we just don't know how each will receive Christ. Praying that people become specifically Orthodox in this life presumes that they want to and that people are in charge of destiny, yet only God truly converts. You can only try to help people see Christ, but you can't take it upon yourself to convert them or expect that they will convert. That being said, I am not saying you should not seek the intercession of saints.
